Waterfall near the Cappella di San Giovanni Gualberto

Highlight • Waterfall

Abbey of Badia a Passignano

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Badia a Passignano is imposing and mysterious in the lonely Chianti countryside. For a long time, the 11th century monastery of Badia a Passignano, surrounded by cypress trees, was one of the most important in Italy.

Today, Badia a Passignano is also known as a renowned winery. But still the beautiful complex, which was once founded by the Benedictine order, serves as a monastery.

A pleasant short hike through Tuscan farmland and mostly oak forest. At one point the route passes a river and small waterfall where usually the water is a translucent blue but today was brown following heavy overnight rain.

First, we visited the interesting monastery, led by an Indian monk who is one of five monks living there. Then we went on a circular hike in the surrounding area – beautifully green and secluded, but not particularly scenic. The highlight: a small waterfall in the Pesa River. Finally, we stopped off at the lovely Divino Bar right next to …
